Axiom Sailboat Transducer

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Addison,

Raymarine has not yet released installation documentation for the thru-hull RealVision 3Dâ„¢ transducers. Should the installation documentation for these transducers follow those for thru-hull CHIRP/DownVision fishfinder transducers, then a 0 degree thru-hull RealVision 3Dâ„¢ transducer would be installed slightly forward of the keel with no transducer installed forward of the RealVision 3Dâ„¢ transducer. The hull forward of the RealVision 3Dâ„¢ transducer would need to be free of any thru-hulls or hull features which would result in an aerated flow of water across the face of the transducer. This may necessitate that any speed transducer be relocated. Option 6 of the following diagram illustrates where a thru-hull CHIRP/DownVision fishfinder transducer would typically be installed on a full keel sailboat:
